Also included are a paddleboat, kayaks and a new dock with bench where you can do some fishing. If you bring your own boat, there is a boat launch on the property. There is also a new firepit area with Adirondack chairs for your evening fires.

Quiet lake stay

It’s so unusual to have a quiet stay on a lake. We loved that. The house was perfect for our group. It was well stacked with necessities and kitchen supplies. The yard was well kept. The kids played on the beach every day. The only downside was that we could not put our jet skis in due to the number of weeds. There was a small swimming area that was weed free but the lake at that end is weedy. We did use the landing across the street to put in the jet skis. It is very close and easily accessible. We used the kayaks, canoe and numerous beach toys.

This property was just as beautiful as the photos. The cabin was spacious and welcoming. It was our first vacation with our grandkids and it was everything we were hoping for. The kids loved the private sandy beach, all the outdoor toys, large campfire space, and the paddle boat & kayaks.

We had an amazing time!! We loved having the private beach and our kids thought it was great!! We took full advantage of the paddle boat, canoe, and kayaks! The cabin itself was spacious and lovely. The kitchen was well-stocked, we loved having a huge dining room table, and the living room couch was sooooooooo comfortable. We loved drinking our coffee and looking out on the lake every morning. Overall, we had a 10/10 experience and would love to come back!!

Wonderful property

We loved this home. The open hang out area and the beach were the highlights. We were two families both with children and had a wonderful time. The home is well equipped with kitchen stuff and lots of room for pantry items. The second fridge was nice for drinks etc. beds were comfortable. Overall we have stayed at several VRBO and this was one of our favorites. We have already booked for next year!

Duck Lake was great!

We enjoyed our weeklong stay at Duck Lake. We were a family of four with grandparents and we had plenty of room and things to do. The house was spacious and clean and very accommodating. We had an issue with the WiFi but the owners were super responsive. Highly recommend this place that’s near Crosslake but not in the crazy mix of giant lake houses. Duck lake was smaller and peaceful, even for 4th of July weekend.

The response from the owners was impeccable. The cabin had pretty much everything one would need: beach toys, beach towels, kayaks, and a kitchen with incredible amounts of storage and just about every item you'd need. The kids had a blast on the sandy beach with all the beach toys. Thank you!

Perfect lake get away

This house was a perfect location for our family vacation. It was spacious for all of us to spread out. And the house was so thoughtfully set up for guests. We truly felt like we were guests in the owner's home. Lots of kitchen supplies, storage containers for leftovers, spices. They even had bug spray, fly swatters, and a cooler if we needed to use it. The lake was so serene and the beach was relaxing. If a family has little kids there would be no fighting over beach toys-they have tons! Would go there again in a heartbeat.

Another Great Summer Get-Away at Duck Lake

For the 2nd year in a row, we traveled to Duck Lake for our summer vacation. And just like last year, great all the way around. 1. AJ and Amanda (owners) are awesome. They communicate and they care about your trip! 2. Pictures are a perfect representation of the property. Plenty of space for families and kids. Clean and well stocked for cooking, family night movies/games, etc. 3. Location is awesome. You have your own beach area, part of the lake, firepit, deck overlooking the lake, grill, and yard area to play. Plenty of toys for kids and adults, both in and out of the water. Plus, you are literally 10 minutes to the grocery store, hardware store, gas, boat rental on the Whitefish Chain, golf, shopping, etc. We will certainly be back!

Overall okay experience

The location of the property was very nice. The property itself is in need of maintenance. Trees are dead and hanging over the house, garden rubber barriers are torn up all over and complete trip hazards. The property manager complained about us and cleanliness which we did everything to leave the house nicer than when we arrived. I should have taken pictures when we arrived but anyway I paid an extra fee and am not upset but will not return.
